Abstract
The reaction between [NiCl2(PPh3)(2)] and [Li{C(SiMe3)(2)(SiMe2C5H4N-2)}] i n tetrahydrofuran gave the monomeric Ni(i) compound [Ni{C(SiMe3)(2)(SiMe2C5 H4N-2)}(PPh3)], which shows planar coordination at Ni with Ni-C 2.025(4) An gstrom, together with the Ni(ii) silanolato compound [Ni{C(Si- Me-3)(SiMe2C 5H4N-2)(SiMe2O)}](2) as a minor product, however, the corresponding reactio n with [PdCl2(PPh3)(2)] gave [Pd(mu-Cl){C(SiMe3)(2)(SiMe2C5H4N-2)}](2), whi ch has a chloride-bridged structure with an unusual fold angle of 60 degree s at the Cl ... Cl axis.
